Steps
1.
Participants are asked to say how they are feeling when they come to the group. (10 minutes)
2.
We ask participants to think of a song they like. A song that touches their heart. Where the melody and – or – the lyrics have a special meaning to them. (5 minutes)
3.
On paper, they record their thoughts, feelings or some thoughts associated with it (5 minutes).
4.
Then, they take their cameras or cell phones and photograph images which the song and reflecting on it have brought to mind. These can be a spontaneous shooting of several photos or one carefully arranged installation. (15 minutes)
5.
We return to the plenary session and listen to a short part of the song they chose, and they present their photos one by one and share their thoughts. (50 minutes)
